Dendrobium farmeri third flowering
 

This is the 3rd flowering since August.
No growth the entire summer. I am happy but a bit worried that it is flowering itself to death!

Beautiful. How do you grow it? This is the next Dendrobium on my whishlist.

WOW! Andrew, that is a magnificent display of blooms !
You have a big specimen that is happy and healthy....you are lucky to be in LA where the atmosphere is conducive to growing orchids...you also have bright sunny skies

I grow it intermediate to cool. This winter low was around 50F. This summer high up to mid 90s. But nights always cool even in the summer. Warmest evening around low 70s. Light lever cattleyas. Somewhat drying in the winter but not complete dry like Nobile.
The truth is, I don't give it special care, so I assume it jut likes condition in LA year round. I would say it does like moisture. It is in sphagnum and small bark. Also very light in fertilizers.

Thank you bud. I aspire to grow Vandacious orchids like you do.

Wow! Fabulous!
